IOTA was created in 1964 in the UK and taken on by the Radio Society of Great Britain in the mid 1980’s. It is an amateur radio activity program designed to encourage contacts with island stations world wide. The ocean islands have been grouped into some 1200 “IOTA Groups” with, for reasons of geography, varying numbers of islands in each group, counting toward that group. The objective, for the island chaser, is to make radio contact with at least one island in as many groups as possible and the DXpeditioners to provide such island contact. There are 22 certificates available for island chasers.

In digital operations - including CW which is just another digital mode - we use a lot of short forms. These are called prosigns or abbreviations. These short forms or prosigns all came from CW and the old telegraph system. However, if you are transmitting in a digital mode other than CW, there have been some modifications and changes. If you have never operated on CW you won’t notice the differences. They are very subtle so if you are familiar with CW and make a mistake likely no one is even going to notice. However, for the rest of this article, let’s just assume that we are using a digital mode other than CW so we don’t confuse things.

Here's an interesting event held in California that encompasses Geo-caching, Amateur Radio, FRS comms, camping, etc. Looks like a good deal of fun. Would there be any interest in something like this around here?
